“Reproductive health” is Democrat-speak for the right to kill babies. The Democrats are good at inventing euphemisms.
Ha, no.
This has been another edition of easy answers to stupid questions.
The answer is no. My grandson and his buddies are all country western type of attitude. Huge backlash against button down gay type people like Newsom.
